A/N: Chapter three is ready. This one was fun. Hope you like it.

Chapter Three: He's Baack and Handing Out Bad Days

"So...he was attacked? And nobody heard anyone come in?" Joe rubbed his temple. "You're kidding right? Wally?" Joe looked between Wally and Iris as Iris shook her head in warning at her father.

"You know I can sleep through a nuclear explosion." Wally was pacing, struggling to keep his speed in check."Especially after…" His voice cracked as he blinked. "Sorry...I…I'm sorry!" And then he didn't even try to restrain it. He was gone before Joe could reply.

Joe looked in the direction where his son had been only moments before.

Caitlin looked between Joe and the spot Wally had occupied. "Joe…"

"I should go find him." Joe gave a small shrug. "We're all tense, but I shouldn't have snapped. Let me know if you find anything."

"You got it Cap." HR saluted, but his attempt at optimism was halfhearted at best as his hand dropped to his side.

Caitlin frowned. "So someone broke in at almost 3:30 in the morning to attack Barry, and vanished without a trace?"

"If you really think about it, the list is pretty long. And sometimes CCPD mistakenly releases em." Cisco murmured blinking away sleep as he scrolled through security footage. "Annnd, I think I found our culprit. You're not gonna believe this."

Iris and Caitlin leaned over the monitor and saw an extremely familiar face. Barry glaring, whisper-shouting, and then a moment of stillness before he fell as Music Meister vanished.

"You're not serious…" Iris looked at the replay.

"Even I'm not that good at splicing." Cisco frowned as he placed a hand over Iris' in sympathy before he pulled back and stood from the chair.

"Well, he wasn't sticking around to wait for us. So that must mean he's after something." Iris said. "But what?"

"That's exactly what I want to know." Caitlin frowned. "Last time he wanted to teach Barry and Kara something, but what could he want with Barry now?"

"His speed." HR said. "Last time this...uh… this Magical Musicator attacked, didn't he take Barry and Kara's powers?"

Cisco raised his eyebrows. "We're literally calling him the… and you come up with ma...you know nevermind. But yeah…"

"The question is, what will he do once he has it?" Caitlin sighed.

"I don't think I want to wait around to find out. I'll try to track him." Cisco said. "But it might take a while."

"I'll keep an eye on him." Caitlin straightened as she turned to the direction of the medbay. "If this is anything like last time…" She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.

Iris followed Caitlin wordlessly, her fists clenched at her sides. They'd just gotten engaged, and now she might lose Barry, because of some freak's idea of a prank. She couldn't lose him, not when she'd just gotten him back.

Barry walked into the common room, feeling for all intents and purposes, out of his element. He'd done high school once already, so coursework wasn't entirely awful (save the outliers: Latin, what high school still taught Latin? And lacrosse practice, apparently Sebastian was on the team.) All he wanted to do was take a nap, and hopefully wake up passed out in STAR Labs to get yelled at by Caitlin. He'd take her lectures over another stick check that sent him splayed out on the field right about now. Without his healing, it was terrible.

The day had basically consisted of a series of strange looks from all of his professors, not to mention his classmates. A boy named Trent, who he recognized from the Warbler photograph, observed that this was the most that Sebastian had paid attention in his chemistry class all year. They'd thought they would have to auction his seat and replace it with a bed from one of the graduates' dormitories.

"Hello, Earth to Sebastian...hey, el capitan!" Barry blinked to see fingers snapping hurriedly in his face. Two boys sat across from him, the shorter and blonder of the two doing the snapping.

"Jeff, Jeff…" The other boy sighed grabbing Jeff's wrist gently and bringing it down to his lap. "I think you got his attention."

"What?" Barry couldn't quite stop the annoyance, then again having fingers snapping in your face for ten straight minutes could do that.

"Did you forget about practice?" Jeff stared seemingly unfazed by Barry's sharp response. "I mean, dude you're the captain, you can't exactly lapse."

"...Uh...no." Barry shook his head, maybe too quickly. "Of course not." Well, that was a lie. Thank god he was good at lying.

"Then why aren't you heading to the choir room?" The other boy asked. He studied Barry with narrowed eyes. "Are you okay?"

Barry nodded. "Yeah, fine." Maybe not as good as he thought.

"Well come on then. Lead the way."

Crap.

A/N: So team Flash just found out about the return of Music Meister, and are trying to track him. Wally's having difficulty and Joe went after him. Meanwhile in the Gleeverse, Barry found out more about how hard Dalton actually is, met Nick and Jeff, and now has to go to Warbler Practice. Oh my. Just a bit of a hint for next chapter, Barry meets more people he thinks he knows as he attempts to be captain of a show choir, and a few faces from McKinley join the fray as they scope out the competition. So any suggestions for songs? What about more trouble that Barry/Sebastian can get into?
